Shock parameter calculations at weak interplanetary shock waves [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2005
Abstract. A large set of interplanetary shock waves observed using the Ulysses spacecraft is analysed in order to determine their local parameters. For the first time a detailed analysis is extended to the thermodynamic properties of a large number of events. The intention is to relate the shock parameters to the requirements set by MHD shock theory. A

Kelvin–Helmholtz Spectral Redistribution by Flow and Density Structure at the Dusk Dayside Magnetopause

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We study the development of the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) along the dusk dayside Earth's magnetopause with and without the presence of enhanced plasma density at the shear interface. Using three‐dimensional MAGE global simulations, we establish general KHI growth rate diagrams, which depend sensitively on the transverse profiles of ...

Magnetic Discontinuities in the Inner Heliosphere: Do Intermediate Shocks Exist?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Magnetic discontinuities are fundamental structures in space and laboratory plasmas where the changes in magnetic and velocity fields are constrained by Rankine–Hugoniot relations.

Coupled Thermosphere–Ionosphere–Plasmasphere Disturbances During the April 2023 Geomagnetic Storm: A Ground‐Based Multiparametric Study Across the American and European Sectors

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The April 2023 geomagnetic storm significantly impacted the thermosphere‐ionosphere system, particularly over South America and midlatitude regions. This study analyzes ground‐based geomagnetic and ionospheric data, alongside Swarm satellite measurements, to investigate the physical mechanisms driven by intense solar wind energy input ...

Response of Thermospheric Nitric Oxide (NO) Cooling During Events of Strong Solar Wind Pressure

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) infrared emissions are a notable indicator for varying thermospheric energy budget during geomagnetic storms while the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) is southward. In this study, we present the first investigation on the response of NO cooling emissions during northward IMF conditions.

Flat Spectra of Energetic Particles in Interplanetary Shock Precursors

The Astrophysical Journal
The observed energy spectra of accelerated particles at interplanetary shocks often do not match the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) theory predictions. In some cases, the particle flux forms a plateau over a wide range of energies, extending upstream

Statistics of Orientation of Nightside Auroral Arcs and Interplanetary Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract We present statistics and dependence on interplanetary conditions of the orientation of nightside auroral arcs in the equatorward part of the auroral oval. The results related to the arcs essentially represent the orientation and dynamics of the equatorial boundary of the nightside auroral oval.

Propagation of Interplanetary Shocks in the Heliosphere

, 2023
Interplanetary shocks are one of the crucial dynamic processes in the Heliosphere. They accelerate particles into a high energy, generate plasma waves, and could potentially trigger geomagnetic storms in the terrestrial magnetosphere disturbing significantly our technological infrastructures. In this study, two IP shock events are selected to study the

Nighttime Westward Equatorial Electrojet Observed During the January 2026 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The equatorial electrojet (EEJ) is a narrow band of zonal electric current flowing in the E‐region ionosphere within approximately ±2° $\pm 2{}^{\circ}$ latitude of the magnetic equator. At night, the EEJ is generally considered very weak because of low ionospheric conductivity.

Drift Echoes at Geostationary Orbit: An Eight‐Year Climatology From GOES‐16

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Drift echoes are energy‐dispersed recurrences in energetic particle flux that appear when a localized injection or compression organizes trapped ions and electrons according to their azimuthal drift. Although established as tracers of radiation‐belt dynamics, drift echoes have rarely been surveyed statistically at geostationary orbit. We apply
